2003 - Annual Report - <strong>EDP</strong><br />

>> 1.2 The Functional Structure of the <strong>EDP</strong> Group’s<br />

Holding Company<br />

<strong>EDP</strong>’s activities are organised in accordance with the<br />

functions and responsibilities determined by the<br />

Executive Committee that establishes the Group’s<br />

structure and the sharing of duties between the various<br />

Business Units and the Shared Services Units – <strong>EDP</strong> Valor<br />

– and the holding company of the <strong>EDP</strong> Group.<br />

<strong>EDP</strong> has a central structure that provides support to the<br />

decision process. It has transverse responsibilities and<br />

reports to the Executive Committee.<br />

This structure comprises a number of general managers,<br />

assistants and consultants of the Board of Directors, as<br />

well as a Corporate Centre organised into Offices and<br />

Co-ordination Areas.<br />

During 2003, <strong>EDP</strong> implemented major changes<br />

designed to improve its efficiency and to enhance<br />

its relations with Group companies, as well as its<br />

co-ordination and control. A decision was there<strong>for</strong>e taken<br />

to set up six new structures to support the Executive<br />

Committee.<br />

• Within the scope of direct support to the chairman of the<br />

Executive Committee a position of Office Manager of the<br />

Chairman of the Executive Committee was created;<br />

• The Risk Management Office was created, an activity of<br />

growing importance within the Group, responsible <strong>for</strong><br />

identifying and proposing the risk-management model<br />

<strong>for</strong> the whole Group;<br />

• A Quality Office was set up to monitor not only the<br />

quality of the service provided to the customers of the<br />

companies of the <strong>EDP</strong> Group but also internal quality in<br />

terms of the professional satisfaction of its employees:<br />

• The Energy Planning Office was created to study<br />

alternative scenarios <strong>for</strong> the evolution of supply and<br />

demand at Iberian level, thus contributing to better<br />

decision-taking in terms of the Group’s operational<br />

production strategy; and<br />

• Also set up were the Iberian Articulation Office and the<br />

Brazil Link Office, essentially to promote the<br />

progressive integration of common activities having a<br />

different geographic base and closer approach between<br />

the differing cultures of the various group companies.<br />

During 2003, a project began to restructure the Corporate<br />

Centre, the aim of which is to turn the holding company<br />

into a more flexible, lighter structure. Essentially, in<br />

addition to the <strong>for</strong>mation of the new offices described<br />

above, the internal structure of each office, their duties<br />

and their objectives were studied. This study concluded<br />

early in <strong>2004</strong> and is currently being implemented, will<br />

allow the transfer of several responsibilities between the<br />

holding company, <strong>EDP</strong> Valor and various <strong>business</strong> units<br />

to optimise their functions and procedures. In keeping<br />

with the new organisation, the holding company will have<br />

only essential and added-value services, while it will<br />

strengthen its role in defining the strategy implemented<br />

by the <strong>business</strong> units:<br />

The central structure providing support to decision<br />

processes is now as follows:<br />
